Aside from generic Canuck-hate, it would actually be better for the Blues to lose, especially if the Wild lose. We want them to stay in either 7th or 8th so that they get a first round exit and we get the best draft pick possible.
As I posted in the Drive for 30th thread, the Blues have a pretty easy schedule for their 7 remaining games:
- 6/7 games are at home.
- 5/7 games are against non-playoff/bubble teams
- Only 1 back-to-back game.
- 1 game in hand over all of the teams around them.
This game against the Canucks is one of the few "tough" games the Blues have left.
